Recap: Bruins 2, Devils 1 (SO)

Devils 2, Bruins 1 (SO): Brad Marchand scored in the sixth round of the shootout and Tuukka Rask made 25 saves - plus five in the bonus format - as host Boston continued its mastery of New Jersey.

Marchand slipped a shot between Johan Hedberg's pads before Rask stopped defenseman Marek Zidlicky as the Bruins won the battle of the only two Eastern Conference teams without a regulation loss. Nathan Horton tied the game in the third period for Boston, which has won five straight over New Jersey and nine of the last 10 meetings.

David Clarkson scored a power-play goal in the second period and Hedberg, making his first appearance of the season, stopped 27 shots for the Devils. Patrik Elias, who recorded his 900th career point Sunday, had an assist.

Clarkson deflected Zidlicky's slap shot from the point past Rask's glove at 8:30 of the second period to open the scoring. It was the first power-play goal allowed by the Bruins this season after they killed their first 24.

The Bruins applied heavy pressure in the third period before Horton beat Hedberg between the legs following a 3-on-2 rush with 4:05 remaining on an assist from David Krejci, who missed a mostly open net with Hedberg lying on the ice in the first minute of overtime.
